Rega Upgrade Kits
I've seen a ouple of upgrade kits for the Planar 3 on ebay - The
manufacturer seems to be SMTECH based on the email contact address. They claim to reduce motor vibration, improve neutrality etc by replacing the platter with a thicker acrylic one and a silicone rubber mat, along with some other tweaks to the bearing and motor housing. It seems to make sense, but does anyone have direct experience of these upgrades and do they make a significant difference ? |

Any change to the platter or mat material will make a difference. A
difference is not an improvement however. Rega tables are very well engineered and there are as many that find detriment to these "upgrades" as not. -Bill www.uptownaudio.com Roanoke VA (540) 343-1250 "johnfromnorwich" wrote in message ...
